WARNS OF CITY MANAGER PERIL IN POLITICIANS Leader Shows How Party Bosses Will Try to Get Control. Capture of the city commission by politicians in the Nov. 5 election would jeopardize the successful operation of the city manager form of government in Indianapolis, J. W ’Estealine, City Manager League leader, told Fairview Civic Association members Tuesday night at Fairview Presbyterian church. “Now having taken the management of the municipality away from the political, parties, we must be very careful that wc do pot hand it back to them when we elect our commissioners this fall,” Esterline declared. “I have no grude against political parties,” he added, “But I have seen enough to convince me that they do not know how to manage a city nearly as well as they do an election.” Warns of Foes’ Tactics ' From study of commissioner elections in other cities. Esterline made two predictions of the tactics city manager fees will employ in the campaign here. ' “In the first place, you can expect a determined effort to split the vote nf the people by getting them divided along political lines,” he said. “The more the people ore divided, the easier they will be to defeat. “In the second place, you will see a desperate effort by our opponents .to play one section of the city against another. One of the things has held this town back is this eternal stirring up of sectional Antagonisms. If the operation of -the city manager government results in the obliteration of these sectional lines, by giving the people of all sections a square deal, it will be worth all it costs.

Bipartisan Spirit Urged "The election in November should be a contest not between Democrats and Republicans for the control of the city, but rather a battle between those who want the city manager plan to be a success, on one side, and those who want to make it a failure on the other.” Esterline gave it as his “personal opinion.” that “the only way we can escape being called partisan by our opponents, is by being strictly bipartisan and indorsing one ticket made up of citizens of both political faiths.” “I hope that the City Manager League will indorse only seven candidates and that each one of these will represent the whole city,” he said.

THE IXDIAIs'APOUS TIMES

RUM BOAT CASE MAY BE PUT UP TO U. S.JJOURTS Canada Possibly Will Prefer to Keep Tangle Out of Diplomacy. BY LYLE C. WILSON L'nited Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, March 37.—'The stale- department today chose its battle ground for the argument which will ensue if Canada protests the sinking of the rum smuggler I'm Alone 200 miles off the American coast by United States coast guard cutters. But almost simultaneously it became known Canada may prefer to permit the I'm Alone case to be handled by United States courts instead of by diplomatic negotiations. Canada’s indecision as to procedure results, the United Press was informed, from lack of complete reports which now are en route both from British consular and American coast guard officials ir. New Orleans. If the facts support Captain Randell of the I'm Alone in his statement that he was outside all treaty and other limits when accosted by the coast guard, Canada would prefer to have the matter adjusted by American courts. The Cold Harbor and the Federal. both Canadian vessels, seized under such circumstances, were restored to their owners by American courts. Diplomats said if the sinking of the I’m Alone were held unlawful on these grounds there would be a perfect claim for damages against the United States. American officials are operating on the theory the I’m Alone was accosted first within the hour’s sailing or steaming time established by the 1924 liquor smuggling treaty. If that proves to be true, this government will support the action of the coast guard. SLAPS FIXING OF PRICES Edwin Kendall Discusses Farm Problems Before Rotary Club.
